SF Supervisors Baffled that Federal Law Overrides Sanctuary The San Francisco Appeal has more details on Mayor Gavin Newsom's decision to ignore a law passed by Supervisors that prohibited law enforcement from contacting the DHS about illegal alien juveniles before they were convicted. "Supervisor David Campos [ . . . ]wrote legislation, approved by the Board of Supervisors (who overrode a Mayor Gavin Newsom veto), which made it city law to only refer undocumented youth to immigration authorities if those youth are convicted of a felony. "[Mayor] Newsom hates the law, former Newsom legal advisor Kevin Ryan hates the law, and Chief Juvenile Probation Officer William Sifferman -- whose job it is, theoretically, to uphold the law -- hates the law, too. Sifferman told Campos on Tuesday that he will not enforce the law and continue to refer undocumented youth to immigration authorities. Campos responded by calling Sifferman out to City Hall, calling for a hearing wherein Sifferman will be asked to explain himself, in public, to the Board of Supervisors." |
